Hi Girls

Well I'm still in a bit of pain but I *think* we are on the mend. Fingers crossed!!! I've taken a once off dose of Diflucan which should kick in soon, hopefuly within the next 24 hours. I had a bleb (google it!) on my nipple this morning which was super painful but managed to get rid of it in the shower. Just had to rub the blister after the skin had softened to release the trapped milk. Fun, fun. Now I don't think I could possibly get anything else in my boobs, could I?!

Isobel had her big weigh in today and the news is good....she has gained 280g in a week!!!! We were so excited and so was the health nurse!! All the hard work has paid off. We'll continue what we're doing (so feeding 10-15mins on each breast then topping up with EBM and expressing between feeds) until we take the hired breast pump back (in 10 days) then I'll see how we go on our own. Hopefully her sucking has improved.

I don't have time for pesonals as have only just got Izzy to sleep and finally have the chance to eat and chat to my DH so I'm outta here. Glad to see everyone seems to be going so well and I agree with all of you, do what is best for you and your baby and just smile at random advice from others. We know our babies better than anyone
